If we don't hit our goal (which is looking increasingly likely), we cannot make season two. Even if you can't donate, a share or review goes so far. This is a project Fio and I are so proud of, and we really want to see it through to the end. Season one is already available for free online!

There's an AWS outage this morning impacting lots of services; it started around 07.30 UK time. People who use services like Alexa as their alarm clocks have just had a helpful reminder that using a device reliant on connectivity to carry out a task that doesn't need connectivity is not a good idea.

Generative Ai has ruined amusing animal videos on the internet. 5 years ago you could be fairly sure they were real. Now you just have to assume they are fake and that just makes them not funny anymore.

In the latest issue of Doctor Who Magazine Chris Chibnall talks about the type of people he hires to work on his shows. It got me thinking and I wanted to discuss it in a video... the good of the principle but also the potential pitfalls.

I've overheard enough conversations now to confidently state that half the blokes out there aren't into football, they just say they support a team to fit in. As soon as the questions start, they stutter, mumble and fold. Just have the balls to say "I don't like football"

I'm a solicitor. Too many people make the mistake of not recording anything during redundancy procedures. Many redundancies do not follow the correct legal procedures, but unless you're recording everything you have no way to prove it in a tribunal. HR are not your friends.

Central London is so safe, so sanitised of any grit or edge, so removed from its working class, counter culture communities, as to be depressing. It’s Disneyland. You can queue for Lego, or a Tik-Tok Chinese desert, or bubble tea. Nothing is open past 10pm. Your Nan is fine.

Say it after me: Chat GPT is not a search engine. It does not scan the web for information, it just generates statistically likely sentences. You cannot use it a search engine, or as a substitute for searching. Now. Please never use an LLM for information searches ever again.
